THIS LITTLE BABE!!! She had SO many people praying for her existence!!

I LOVE photographing this family!!

ALL THE GRANDBABIES!!

It was SO chilly out – so we came inside to warm up!!

CHRISTMAS COUSINS!!

A quick shot of me and this sweet babe that I (and so many others) prayed so hard for!!

LAURIE!!

Thank you SO MUCH for asking me to spend the afternoon with you and your family!!!

I ALWAYS look forward to our sessions!

I took Chris & Katie’s wedding photos nearly 10 years ago!!

I saw them when their little guy was a newborn and then off and on over the years.

I was SO happy when she asked about Christmas photos!!

MY FAVORITE!!

THE SWEETEST!!

I LOVE that shot from 2 years ago! I HAD to show you the comparison!!

I LOVE THAT SHOT!!!

Those shots are SO SWEET!!

At some point – you’ll forget how the weight of their body in your arms feels.

You’ll forget that they fit right in the space underneath your neck.

You’ll forget that they were ever that tiny!

YOU NEED THE PHOTOS!!

KATIE & CHRIS!! Thank you SO MUCH for asking me to spend the morning with you!!

I can’t WAIT till next time!

I met with Kellie after a long day of sessions. The light was fading fast and the cold was getting even colder!!

I got my own private concert!!

Kellie & Jason – THANK YOU SO MUCH for spending the afternoon with me!!!

Let’s make sure to schedule a little earlier next year!!

We had to reschedule Emily’s session TWICE!!

We met on a chilly November afternoon and her little guy was NOT impressed with me!!

We tried ALL the things!!

A little smile!!

A REAL SMILE!!

PERFECTION!!

I ALWAYS strive to give you gorgeous REAL moments that you will love even if the session was a HARD one!!

I LOVE THAT ONE!!!!

WE TRIED ALL THE THINGS!!!

He was NOT HAVING ANY OF IT!!

Emily!! Thank you SO MUCH for being flexible!!

I hope you loved how these turned out despite the cold and unhappiness!!

Allie got her aunt’s family a GIFT CERTIFICATE – JUST BECAUSE.

Just because she wanted them to have pictures TODAY of this moment in time.

That is the BEST reason to schedule photos!!

Luckily – we were able to use the TROY SALE BARN for their photos because it was a CHILLY November day!

The little guy was NOT a fan of me!! Which seemed to be a recurring theme this fall!!

So – we let him take a break and took some photos of the girls!

He had a moment – which is the perfect moment to photograph!!

THE GUYS!!

Grandma & Grandpa will ALL their grandbabies!!

OOOOH!!! THE SQUISH!!

Nikki – I am SO happy that it worked out to grab pictures of your family!!

Allie – THANK YOU for such a thoughtful gift!!!

Courtney found me on THE KNOT!

She and Kevin had dated YEARS ago and then lost touch.

BUT they found their way back to each other and didn’t want to waste another second!!

Courtney LOVES her nieces – and they equally adore her!

I love that she’s still in her jammies!!

I couldn’t believe that her stuffy was a RAINBOW TROUT!!!

My maiden name is Trout and my dad REALLY wanted to name me RAINBOW!!

Being an aunt before you have your own children – it’s a MAGICAL thing!!

True to late fall – early winter in North PA – it was a VERY windy & chilly day – but it was their wedding day and it was BEAUTIFUL!!!

Do you see how intense her gaze is!? She was MORE than ready to say I DO!!

THEY DID IT!!! HUSBAND & WIFE!!!

NOW it was time to warm up!!!

Jami and Josh and their boys were basically professional models!!

SERIOUSLY!! MODELS!!

FAVORITE!!!!

ANOTHER FAVORITE!!

Jami!!! I had a GREAT evening with you and your family!! Hopefully we can do it again soon!!

Scott is another friend that I spent A LOT of time with over 20 years ago!!

He is married to the sweetest girl – Terri!

She wanted some updated photos of her oldest!!

And the little brother – WHO IS ADORABLE!!!

Aren’t they BEAUTIFUL!?

Terri had breast cancer – last year – I think. She is a fighter. The things she shares about Jesus are absolutely beautiful. She is beautiful. This whole family is beautiful.

Terri’s cancer is back. Pray with us.

THANK YOU for asking me to capture a little bit of your beautiful family!!!

This guy was one of the babies on THE LIST.

ALSO – he was one of the cutest babies EVER!!

Travis was my brother’s best friend growing up. We all spent A LOT of time together – 20 years ago – SHOOT – OVER 20 years ago!!

BROTHER BROTHER NO OTHER!!

My parents backyard is the PERFECT spot for pictures!!

TRAVIS & MICHAELIA – It was SO GOOD to see you guys!!

I met with Roni and her family on a CHILLY November morning!!

REAL SMILES!!!

THESE MOMENTS!!!

I told you it was a CHILLY morning!!

OH MY HEART!! I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!!!

GOODNESS!!! I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!!!

THE SWEETEST BROTHER & SISTER EVER!!
